Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Gas from Hydrocarbon Oils and the like.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1909-12-11
Granted: 1910-12-12
Abstract: 29,029. Lake, W. E., [Hydrocarbon Converter Co.]. Dec. 11. Oil gas.-In an oil-gas apparatus comprising a heated zigzag passage in which the temperature is maintained by internal combustion, the formation of tarry deposits is avoided by causing a mist-like mixture of oil and air, not previously heated to a high temperature, to impinge immediately upon and pass over a heated body of porous material before entering the passage. Two or more concentric cylinders or drums 6, 16 lined on either side with earthenware, asbestos, crucible-making material, &c. 17, are arranged within a jacketed casing 2 to form the zigzag passage, and atomized hydrocarbon in admixture with air, which is delivered into the top of the cylinder 16 against the block 20, is decomposed or cracked, and partly consumed, and the resultant products are fixed before reaching the gas-outlet pipe 26. The apparatus is heated initially by passing exhaust &c. gases through the space 7 between the cylinder 6 and the outer casing; or a highly combustible liquid may be supplied through a valve 40 to the interior. The air supplied for admixture with the hydrocarbon is heated in an upper compartment 4 of the jacketed casing, and air for admixture with the gas is heated in a lower compartment 5. When used in combination with a gas-engine, the air may be preliminarily heated by the exhaust. A safetyvalve 42 and a by-pass pipe 41 are provided.

Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 10,191. Poetter Ges. May 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Ashes, removing.-In a gas-producer with a rotary ash-trough, the ash-discharging plate is pivoted so that it can occupy an inoperative position in which it rides on the surface of the ash in the trough. As shown in connexion with an ash-trough, the direction of rotation of which can be reversed, the plate h is pivoted to a shaft d carried by a support a stayed to the producer casing. When the trough is moving in the direction of the arrow, the plate rides over the surface of the ash, but when the motion is reversed the plate is forced up against a stop g and the ashes are ejected. When the trough can be rotated in one direction only, the stop is removable to allow the plate to swing backwards.

Abstract: 4119. Inrig, G., and Inrig, L. Feb. 19. Lighting systems.-The main circuit of a variable-speed dynamo of the kind described in Specification 20,905/11, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], is opened and closed by a knife-switch Q, Fig. 1, operated by a Pickering governor P. When the machine is started, the spring 0 of the governor is compressed and a sliding collar R travels along the shaft as far as a shoulder R<1> thereon; a loose collar T, having a forked connexion with the switch-lever S, follows the collar R and allows a spring S' to close the switch Q. A further increase of speed causes the core I to be drawn out of the armature; at an excessive speed, the core is drawn so far out of the armature, that the sleeve M engages sliding keys in the shaft, said keys then pushing the loose collar T back and opening the main switch Q. The polarity of the brushes is kept the same, irrespective of the direction of rotation, by causing the brush-rocker to be carried round frictionally by the commutator in the direction of rotation until two of four iron stops y, Fig. 3, mounted on the rocker come into contact with the poles of locking electro-magnets V. The coils of the magnets V are in series with the shunt fieldmagnet coils. According to the Provisional Specification, the brnsh-rocker keeper is pushed away from the magnet by a spring plunger when the machine comes to rest.
